Cider Club

How do you get SMEN to Winking Isle levels this fast?

I assume that since Optimatum specified no need to &quotdeal with other requirements&quot that the assumption is you have enough resources to burn Appalling Secrets all the way to SMEN 21. (actually, you’ll only need to get this way to SMEN 13 and use UP cards each week after that to meet the two month estimate).

I meant more major things like having a Daughter in the Shadows or seven Enigmas for the Calling Card. Miscellaneous resources count too though, I suppose. I was basing my estimate on veteran Seekers going NORTH in under a month of the content’s release (with minor Fate wheels-greasing and some delays for content to be released) and approximately doubled it.

On the difficulty of obtaining the knock, with no fate (or EF membership) I’ve been able to take a character from creation to the gate in about 4 months. You have to be pretty aggressive and efficient in your action usage and you’ll need to borrow a calling card for Winking Isle and find people to betray for that first candle, but it’s easily done in under a year if you really dedicate yourself to it.

I started with a new account, spent no fate, had appalling luck with appalling secrets, betrayed only two people for Arthur, took the notability path for Destin’s, and still managed to do it in about five months. I think seeking itself only took 2-3 months; the rest of it was just getting the character useful.

AT LAST.

Well not really, since I won’t actually buy the Cider for about a month. I have Science to do first.

[b]Optimatum, my congratulations!

[/b]>>>and find people to betray for that first candle

With access codes (9 cups of coffee) it takes less than a hour to create new account and raise watchful to 30.

Hardest part for rich character is requirements for Winking Isle. You lose huge amounts of useful materials and echos on conversion.

My congratulations, delicious! Seems that this Club is getting bigger and bigger with the years; waiting to get bigger in a few days!

SO SHALL HE NEVER DIE.

Lovely timing with the Hallowmass, mate! Big congratulations and time to start flipping shitloads of cards, ey? :D

My very appropriately-named AncientDrunkard now has cider.

So many souls traded to devils, just for some fancy booze that isn’t made of mushrooms…

Congratulations on your new source of inebriation!

I think we may need a new person to maintain the list…

I kept this under my hat for a while out of concern for being inundated with requests, but it’s Sacksmas.

Kaigen has joined the ranks of those with cider.

Congratulations! I’m busy with poetry and Sanguine Ribbon mayhem at the moment, but may want to ask you for a sip in a bit.

My congratulations, delicious, but also for your other quality!
I’m glad to see people motivated to get something that has no benefits!:D

I would like to be added to this list please :)

I have no idea why such a wretched and troubled individual as the Scorched Sailor would want to live forever, but for his sins, now he can.

It’s good to have options.

To celebrate my fifth(!) Christmas in Fallen London I decided to treat myself to a delicious hot apple cider. Please add my name to the list.
